Our certification agency

Kashrut, Kosher, what does that mean ?

Kashrut is a set of dietary laws prescribed to people of Israelite faith. It includes the criteria defining whether or not a food is suitable for consumption, as well as the laws allowing them to be prepared or made suitable for consumption.

The Strasbourg Beth Din is part of the Israelite Consistory of Bas-Rhin, a true partner in the Israelite life. It is the competent religious entity in matters of Kashrut.

Our missions

The vocation of Strasbourg Beth Din and Kosher Strasbourg certification agency is to facilitate consumption of Kosher products by certifying and promoting establishments that comply with Kosher regulations. Our agency has been active for more than a century. It stands alongside food industry manufacturers to help them develop products in line with an international Kosher regulatory standard.

Kosher Strasbourg works both at the food establishment and at the consumer level, by making this establishment’s products known to the public on the one hand through communication and the KS - Kosher Strasbourg label, and on the other hand by facilitating consumption of Kosher food for consumers.

Each product is examined from its raw materials to the end of the manufacturing process to ensure that it can be certified Kosher. Several suppliers may therefore be affected by this validation. When the validation process is complete, the KS label will appear on the product packaging. The reputation of Strasbourg Beth Din is a guarantee of trust, quality and reliability.
